Building DBD::mysql on Solaris 10 Sparc

Having problems building the Perl DBD::mysql modules on Solaris 10 Sparc 64-bit?
The Perl 5.8.4 binary that ships with Solaris 10 is a 32-bit application. You are probably running the 64-bit version of MySQL and trying to build DBD::mysql against that db version.
What you actually need to do is download the 32-bit version of MySQL, for linking the Perl DBD::mysql libraries against. I run the 64-bit MySQL database in /opt/mysql/mysql, so I unpacked the 32-bit MySQL as /opt/mysql/mysql32.
Then, run a CPAN shell, look DBD::mysql, and build the module.
/usr/perl5/5.8.4/bin/perlgcc Makefile.PL --libs '-R/usr/sfw/lib -R/opt/mysql/mysql32/lib -L/usr/sfw/lib -L/opt/mysql/mysql32/lib -lmysqlclient -lz -lposix4 -lcrypt -lgen -lsocket -lnsl -lm' --cflags '-I/usr/sfw/include -I/usr/include -I/opt/mysql/mysql32/include'
Then
gmake install UNINST=1
and you're done.
